Robert,
You state: “increase more spillover of atomic hydrogen onto the nickel particles, and increase hydrogen diffusion through the interstitial spaces of the nickel lattice”
1. Can an in-situ source of atomic hydrogen be created in an atmosphere of pure methane, propane, ethylene, acetylene or hexane or mixtures thereof with an inert gas diluent subjected to electromagnetic fields within an arc or plasma created by an alternating field pulsing device?
Ref: De Broglie or Dr. R. M. Santilli method of creating neutrons.
2. Can a small bleed by use of a pressure releaaw valve at opposite side of said example gas be energized to create active forms of H by passing same through a series of insulated gaps such as spark plugs fitted into a tube through T’s prior to flow through reaction chamber and fired by devices such as RFG, Tesla Coils, Buzz ignition coils, Lesion creating oscillators and other triggers. What frequency would you suggest?
3. For the nichrome heating wire coil, within the reaction chamber, would you suggest dozens, hundreds or thousands of turns activated by which: alternating, direct current or pulsed DC?
4. What metal hydrides, by rank, would you try as an alternate source of H?
5. Do you believe that the Rossi chamber residue showing Ni and Fe point to a catalyst of NiFeH powder prepared by heat sinter, reduction to powder followed by H treatment?
6 You speak of active “catalyst” dispersions in cavities within solids. Can they be dispersed in non reactive liquids as well?

Carry on. You are the best.

    Energy efficient methods of atomic hydrogen synthesis are contact ionization with hot filament, high voltage corona discharge (like in neon sign), and microwave irradiation. Items 1 and 2 in your list can also make it but at lower energy efficiency.
    Frequency has more to do with electron resonance in plasma than any vibratory state of molecular hydrogen when doing an energy activated conversion, because it is electron impact in the plasma that causes the molecule to atom conversion. The literature reveals the 27 Mhz and 2450 Mhz bands have both been applied for RF mediated conversion, but that is because those sources are common in laboratory use, and not because of hydrogen molecule nuclei properties. In discharge conversion a Woods tube with porous sintered glass disks separating the electrodes from the conversion zone, and with the inner walls orthophosphate coated, works well for greater than 90% conversion of molecular to atomic hydrogen. Contact ionization is also efficient, but power is lost through radiation from the incandescent filament.
    Item 3 on your list assumes more than the design I described. The purpose of my original comment is to point out a way others could demonstrate LENR using conventional readily available appliances, in this case a resistance heater that uses Nichrome wire. My own experiment uses a “small” piece of flat wire from such a heater, cut so it fits into a test tube where it can be exposed to hydrogen gas pressure cycling. Thus I know the whole heater would also work, but would require a container large enough to hold it and able to withstand collapse from external atmospheric pressure, with low gas pressure cycling of hydrogen inside. My lab grade power supply is just to heat the wire, not provide other means of activation except by pulsing to induce greater diffusion. There is a company that does use a long length of wire with current to heat it and high voltage pulsing in their experiments, but that design is not something the lay person can do with a hardware store heater.
    Item 4 and 5 might be one and the same, although a rare earth addition would provide faster uptake. There are many possibilities for a separate hydride source of hydrogen. The Fe may be a product of nickel transmutation. This gets into what exactly is the composition of the Rossi catalyst that has increased the thermal power generated per unit mass of the catalyst and fuel, and what specifically is he using to increase spillover of atomic hydrogen. There are other ways to accomplish what he has, and my bet is they will function in a superior way, but more progress requires more funds
    to determine what exactly he is using. Meanwhile if one is willing to increase the amount of nuclear active catalyst to compensate for the reduced thermal power per mass ratio, up to 100 times, then one can still build a reactor using just nano-nickel particles that is fully functional. Instead of 1 gram catalyst and fuel per 100 watts thermal power, one would need 100 gram for 100 watts, getting 1 watt thermal power per gram without using any extra activation energy. I do not believe heat sinter is appropriate to maintain catalytic activity. It would tend to anneal the lattice defects, precisely what is not desired. Although mechanical milling would work, I suspect Rossi is using a solution method of precipitating nickel particles from a solution of metal salt, most likely the nickel chloride or nickel sulfate, as these are less expensive than others. These can be easily reduced by sodium or potassium borohydride to give nickel nano-particles from 3 nm to 10 nm size. After centrifuge and washing the clean precipitate it can be activated by hydrogen gas pressure and temperature cycling until the powder maintains an elevated temperature immersed in hydrogen gas. Your item 6 would have the same powder dispersed in liquid with ultrasonic energy used to enhance hydrogen gas (under pressure) diffusion though the nano-particle lattice structure.

    By the way, everything I’ve described in my reply is documented in the literature in experiment “descriptions” that were done 5 to 10, or more, years ago. One problem in the LENR field is that the follow-up reports on results of those experiments seldom seem to get published. There is only one reason that happens in science, keeping in mind that negative results are always published. Something happened.

    Take my comments for what you will, but it has been clear to many that this technology is only going to get developed when “every person” knows how to make the nuclear active catalyst and fuel, and practical engineers working with the technology start building devices using LENR catalysts and fuel.

IF this system is able to remove the three usual weaknesses of the majority of the pre-Rossi LENR systems i.e. low intensity, bad reproducibility and short duration.

Systems ok. Weakness only by operator. Easy. "

from "dudadiesel" Make nano Ni hexane mix. Put in exchanger. Vac pump dry. Pipe propane bleed through T with spark plug. Buzz ignition plug to make heavy H "crystals" and black soot. Water 90 C other side of duda gets pressure steam. Easy.

My Differential Equations and my Statistical Mechanics Professors used to say "Is this clear?".

It is clear to me that negative karma abounds in this excellent discussion site.

Change is on the way. It will be a far better world 100 years from now. Smile and the world smiles with you. Cry and you cry alone.

Love you all.

Warm Regards,

Lou,

Show this to one of your non degree tech guys working at your transducer based instrument factory shop in N. J. :  http://www.icpig2009.unam.mx/pdf/PB13-3.pdf

He could assemble it in an hour. Use Ar instead of He. Next day check for He. Surprise!

The C deposit is conical nano structure and has a trapped H within. No need to check for excess heat. Where there is He there is Rossi Fusion. The ECat appropriated Chan one Hydride mix and must be changed every six months because of He build up. His attempt to get patents on Hydride fusion ran into prior pending obstacles. Hence the rush to cheap mass production.

Warm Regards,

Reliable

Abd,

I intend to do some more research on this - plasmonics is pretty dicey.

I'm not sure whether a nanowire has a cross-section large enough to
scatter gammas originating at any significant distance, thoug, unless they
are extremely collimated.

But, I am more optimistic than you are that W-L would pass this test.
According to the calculations in the paper I cited, the enormous effective
(not relativistic) mass of those electrons make each look like a subatomic
battering ram to any particle unfortunate enough to collide with one.

I will try to find a local college with appropriate lab resources.
There's a slim chance I can get it done.
Probably expensive. Too bad I lost the lottery.
